Corporate & Business Transactions

When you want to get a deal done, you need to make informed decisions with all of the pertinent information. What are the risks involved? What strategy is the most efficient?

You need problem solvers. At Alston & Bird, we give practical advice. We staff our client teams appropriately to provide timely and comprehensive answers to your questions.

We counsel clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to startups. We represent nearly 100 U.S. public companies, as well as private companies, financial institutions, and private equity firms, operating globally across a wide range of industries.

We advise on transaction structuring and implementation, securities matters, corporate governance, and general corporate matters.

Our M&A lawyers handle a broad range of domestic and cross-border transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, complex carve-out transactions, leveraged buyouts, going-private transactions, strategic alliances, and joint ventures. Some of the largest private equity firms, venture capital funds, financial institutions, and other private investors rely on us in all aspects of the investment cycle. We also represent the portfolio companies of our private equity clients, including add-on acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, and financings.

Issuers and underwriters turn to our securities lawyers for public and private offerings of equity and debt. We also routinely assist our clients with current and periodic reporting obligations and advise on disclosure and compliance issues that arise.

Our lawyers live and breathe these deals. When you need a deal done on time, on budget and with a practical, focused approach to your business goals, Alston & Bird has you covered.
